Article II. Nature of the Platform; No Certification Authority
2.1 Instructional Character. The Platform provides instructional content concerning nondestructive testing (“NDT”) theory, method fundamentals, and industry documentation. All Platform content is furnished solely for training and educational purposes.
2.2 No Certification, Qualification, or Authorization. The Company is not a certifying body. Completion of any course, examination, or program of study offered through the Platform does not constitute, and shall not be construed as, certification, qualification, licensure, authorization, or endorsement of the User to perform NDT or any other inspection activity. Under applicable personnel qualification documents, including without limitation NAS410 and ASNT Recommended Practice No. SNT-TC-1A, certification authority rests exclusively with the User’s employer pursuant to such employer’s written practice and the determinations of its designated Responsible Level III or equivalent authority. Records of completion issued by the Platform evidence participation in training only.
2.3 User Verification Obligation. The User bears sole responsibility for determining, prior to enrollment, whether Platform content satisfies the training requirements of any written practice, employer program, prime contract, customer specification, regulatory requirement, or certification scheme applicable to the User. The Company makes no representation, warranty, or guarantee that any Platform content, course hour, outline, syllabus, or record of completion will be accepted, credited, or recognized by any employer, Level III, auditor, prime contractor, certification body, or governmental authority.
2.4 No Guarantee of Outcomes. The Company makes no representation, warranty, or guarantee regarding certification, recertification, examination passage, audit outcomes, employment, compensation, contract awards, or any other professional, academic, or financial result. Any testimonial, case study, or example of individual results appearing on the Platform reflects the experience of the individual concerned and is not a representation that any other User will achieve comparable results.
Article III. No Professional Services; No Inspection Responsibility
3.1 No Professional Advice. Platform content does not constitute, and shall not be relied upon as, engineering, legal, regulatory, compliance, tax, accounting, medical, safety, or other professional advice or services. No advisory, fiduciary, or attorney-client relationship arises from use of the Platform. Users requiring professional advice concerning their own operations, certifications, or compliance obligations should consult qualified professionals, their designated Level III, or the cognizant authority.
3.2 No Inspection Services; No Acceptance Authority. The Company does not perform, supervise, review, or participate in inspection activities of any kind. Platform content does not authorize any User to accept, reject, disposition, or make serviceability or airworthiness determinations concerning any part, weld, structure, component, or system. All inspection activity performed by any User is governed exclusively by the procedures, technique sheets, drawings, purchase orders, customer flowdowns, regulatory requirements, and employer certifications applicable to such User, and responsibility for such activity and all determinations arising therefrom rests solely with the User and the User’s certifying employer.
3.3 Hazardous Activities. Certain NDT methods involve hazards including, without limitation, ionizing radiation, ultraviolet radiation, chemical exposure, magnetizing current, and energized equipment. Platform content is not a substitute for supervised hands-on instruction or for employer-mandated safety controls. Any practice of any NDT method undertaken by a User outside of qualified supervision and applicable safety controls is undertaken at the User’s sole risk.

4.1 Controlling Documents. Platform content references, summarizes, and discusses industry documents including, without limitation, NAS410, SNT-TC-1A, and standards and specifications published by ASTM, AWS, ASME, governmental agencies, and original equipment manufacturers (collectively, “Referenced Standards”). Referenced Standards are subject to periodic revision and to contract-specific amendment and flowdown. In all cases, the official current revision of the Referenced Standard invoked by the User’s applicable contract, procedure, or written practice shall control over any Platform summary, paraphrase, or interpretation, and any conflict shall be resolved in favor of the invoked document.
4.2 Interpretations Instructional Only. Any interpretation of a Referenced Standard expressed on the Platform constitutes instructional commentary only and shall not be relied upon as a compliance determination, official interpretation, or ruling of any standards body, agency, or customer.
4.3 Trademarks; No Affiliation. All names, marks, and logos of standards organizations, governmental agencies, publishers, and other third parties appearing on the Platform are the property of their respective owners. Reference to any such party does not constitute or imply sponsorship, endorsement, approval, or affiliation, and no such relationship shall be inferred absent an express written statement by the Company.
4.4 External Resources. The Platform may contain hyperlinks to, or integrations with, websites, tools, and resources operated by third parties. The Company exercises no control over, and assumes no responsibility for, the content, accuracy, availability, security, privacy practices, or offerings of any third-party resource. Access to any such resource is at the User’s sole risk and subject to the terms imposed by the applicable third party.
